Counselling
I will listen with respect and empathy
We will work together to find the way forward
Talking about our emotions and issues isn’t always easy, You may even have talked to a counsellor before but still haven't found the support you felt you needed. Finding a therapist or coach that is right for you, who will understand your unique needs and use an approach that you can relate to, is vital to a successful outcome. I believe the relationship between the client and the counsellor or coach is the foundation upon which an effective counselling process is built.
If you find anything is preventing you from enjoying daily life or you feel stuck and uncertain where to go from here, and you ask "what is wrong with me" you are most likely emotionally overwhelmed. Counselling can help you understand yourself better and the reason behind the way you think. Which will ultimately help you develop a clearer understanding of your situation? The more you learn about yourself and the way you think, the easier it gradually becomes to navigate your way through any difficulties you are facing.
I will help you discover and pull out the root cause of your problems, rather than treating the symptoms. Help you eliminate problematic thinking for a lasting change. Provide strategies and skills to face the future with certainty and hope. Learn more
What is Counselling?
Counselling is also known as ‘talking therapies’ and help you to discuss your struggles, fears and complications you are experiencing in a safe, confidential environment. The latest scientific research evidence shows we can reinforce and improve our brain in ways once believed impossible. Today, the art of talking therapies such as counselling, are used to help people come to terms with many problems they are facing, with the ultimate aim of overcoming them.
Not everyone has the same view on the term counselling, but in general, it is a process people seek when they want to change something in their lives, or simply explore their thoughts and feelings in more depth in order to understand the issues better and determine goals and way forward.
It is not a counsellor’s role to sit you down and tell you what to do. Instead, they will encourage you to talk about what's bothering you in order to uncover any root causes and identify your specific ways of thinking. The counsellor may then look to create a plan of action to either help you reconcile your issues or help you to find ways of coping. Counselling methods and approaches are flexible and tailored to suit your unique needs and your expectations. It is imperative that you understand:
-
counselling is a team effort,
-
it is a process that creates change over time,
-
counsellor and client relationships are the foundation of this process is built on,
-
authenticity and commitment from both parties are equally crucial for the best outcome,
-
your commitment to carry out guidelines and consistency in participation is crucial to achieving the outcome you desire.
